followed by other migrating tribal groups. Starting in the late 17th century, French explorers arrived. Spain took over in 1763 and a trading company led by <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Laclede" class="mw-redirect" title="Pierre Laclede">Pierre Laclede</a> and <a href="/wiki/Auguste_Chouteau" title="Auguste Chouteau">Auguste Chouteau</a> established the settlement of St. Louis in February 1764. It attracted French settlers leaving Illinois after their <a href="/wiki/France_in_the_Seven_Years%27_War" title="France in the Seven Years' War">defeat in the Seven Years' War</a>. The city grew in population due to its location as a <a href="/wiki/Trading_post" title="Trading post">trading post</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Mississippi_River" title="Mississippi River">Mississippi River</a>, as the western fur trade was lucrative. The city played a small role in the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War" title="American Revolutionary War">American Revolutionary War</a> and became part of the U.S. through the <a href="/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase" title="Louisiana Purchase">Louisiana Purchase</a> in 1803. With its connection through the Ohio River to the east, the Mississippi to the south and north, and the Missouri to the west, St. Louis was ideally located to become the main base of interregional trade. In the 1840s, it became a destination for massive immigration by Irish and Germans. Some native-born Americans reacted with fear to the newcomers, adopting <a href="/wiki/Nativism_(politics)" title="Nativism (politics)">nativist</a> sentiments. Missouri was a slave state, but the city's proximity to <a href="/wiki/Slave_and_free_states" class="mw-redirect" title="Slave and free states">free states</a> caused it to become a center for the filing of <a href="/wiki/Freedom_suits" class="mw-redirect" title="Freedom suits">freedom suits</a>. Many slaves gained freedom through such suits in the antebellum years. But, by the 1850s and the <a href="/wiki/Dred_Scott_case" class="mw-redirect" title="Dred Scott case">Dred Scott case</a>, interpretations had changed and the <a href="/wiki/US_Supreme_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="US Supreme Court">US Supreme Court</a> ruled against him. It also ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, contributing to the tensions causing the <a href="/wiki/Origins_of_the_American_Civil_War" title="Origins of the American Civil War">American Civil War</a>. During the War, St. Louis had a small skirmish on its outskirts, but was held under <a href="/wiki/Union_(American_Civil_War)" title="Union (American Civil War)">Union</a> control. After the war, the city expanded its railroad connections and industrial activity. It suffered a corresponding rise in <a href="/wiki/Pollution" title="Pollution">pollution</a> of the river and waterfront. During the early 1870s, the <a href="/wiki/Eads_Bridge" title="Eads Bridge">Eads Bridge</a> was constructed over the Mississippi River, and the city established several large parks, including <a href="/wiki/Forest_Park_(St._Louis)" title="Forest Park (St. Louis)">Forest Park</a>. Due to local political and economic disputes, the city separated from <a href="/wiki/St._Louis_County,_Missouri" title="St. Louis County, Missouri">St. Louis County</a> in 1876 and became an <a href="/wiki/Independent_city_(United_States)" title="Independent city (United States)">independent city</a>. Its limited geographic area has inhibited its success in the 20th and 21st centuries because of the small tax base. During the late 19th century, St. Louis became home to two <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">Major League Baseball</a> teams. <a href="/wiki/Ragtime" title="Ragtime">Ragtime</a> and <a href="/wiki/Blues" title="Blues">blues</a> music flourished in the city, with African Americans making major contributions also in <a href="/wiki/Jazz" title="Jazz">jazz</a>. The city hosted the <a href="/wiki/1904_World%27s_Fair" class="mw-redirect" title="1904 World's Fair">1904 World's Fair</a> and the <a href="/wiki/1904_Summer_Olympics" title="1904 Summer Olympics">1904 Summer Olympics</a>, attracting millions of visitors. Part of the infrastructure for the fair was the basis for major city institutions in Forest Park. In the early part of the century, many African Americans migrated from the South to the city for industrial jobs, as part of the <a href="/wiki/Great_Migration_(African_American)" title="Great Migration (African American)">Great Migration</a>. St. Louis did not escape the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a> and its high unemployment. During World War II the city hosted war industries that employed thousands of workers. After the war, federal highway subsidies and postwar development encouraged outward migration as residents moved to gain newer housing; this <a href="/wiki/Suburbanization" title="Suburbanization">suburbanization</a> significantly reduced the city's middle-class population. The city made efforts to create new attractions, such as the <a href="/wiki/Gateway_Arch" title="Gateway Arch">Gateway Arch</a>, which construction became a focus of the <a href="/wiki/Civil_rights_movement" title="Civil rights movement">civil rights movement</a> to gain desegregated jobs in the skilled trades. The first litigation under the 1964 Civil Rights Act was against St. Louis unions. The city worked to replace substandard housing by new <a href="/wiki/Public_housing" title="Public housing">public housing</a> projects such as <a href="/wiki/Pruitt%E2%80%93Igoe" title="Pruitt–Igoe">Pruitt–Igoe</a>.
